Why are you glad it will exist in fansub form? I don't understand the appeal of the series, I guess. Is it a really great story that's *so good* you can ignore the icky bits that sexualize an eight-year-old's crush on her teacher, or is that the whole point, that it's about "a mischievous young girl who tries to sexually entrap her teacher?" (quote via Jason DeAngelis)

I have the same problem with Nymphet, I guess, as I do with Gor; Gor is about how all women really-truly want to be raped (even if they don't even know it, or claim otherwise, etc.) and it's simply a man's duty to get on with it; Nymphet seems to be about how a little girl really-truly is being a purposeful cocktease-- saying things, doing things, rubbing up against her teacher, because she really, really wants it, and therefore nothing *he* does in response is his fault.

I'm sure there are men who read the Gor books and think to themselves "Yes, that's right! He's telling it how it is! All women really want to be raped!" And I'm sure there are also men who would read Nymphet and think "It's true! Those little cockteases really *are* doing it on purpose! They really do want me to fuck them!"

But apart from letting these ideas *support* what some pathetic bastard already believes-- I'm sure there are inexperienced teenagers also reading the manga and letting it *form* their beliefs. I don't see why you'd have to be a politician or a bible-thumper to be grossed out by that.
